With growing energy demand fossil fuels continue to be a critical and valued resource needed to meet the world's transportation and power needs. However, the use of fossil fuels is accompanied by the emission of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide chemicals into the atmosphere. Consumers and governments around the world are demanding stricter emissions standards and regulations around the use of fossil fuels. These changes and the world's continuing need for energy create an opportunity and a challenge in developing technology to minimize the hazardous carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions.
Around the world, significant research efforts are focused on developing novel technologies for meeting the stringent NOx emission standards from stationary and mobile platforms. Furthermore, due to the strong contribution of greenhouse gases such as CO2 to global warming, novel methods are being explored for CO2 capture and sequestration. GE is a company committed to environmental stewardship and is a leader in green technologies, through initiatives such as Ecomagination. GE Global Research, the technology development arm of GE, would like to invite you to join us for an Emissions Aftertreatment Symposium to explore state of the art technologies in NOx reduction and CO2 capture.
GE will be assembling some of the world's foremost experts from academia, industry, and government to discuss technologies and emissions policies that need to be investigated to ensure timely and effective implementation.
Some of the key areas included in the symposium agenda are as follows:
- NOx and CO2 policy
- Fundamentals of NOx abatement and CO2 capture
- Selective catalytic reduction
- Solvent-based CO2 capture
- Water-gas shift
We hope that the frank exchange of ideas at this symposium by our assembled experts, invited guests, and expert attendees will stimulate exciting advances in this critical field.
